Texas Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s fiery bid for a U.S. Senate seat was an exercise in self-immolation, according to a new report citing comments from various black Democrats.
The report from Politico said the shaky underpinnings of Crockett’s campaign were evident long before she lost the Democratic primary to state Rep. James Talarico.
The report also noted that Crockett’s defeat exposed fault lines within the Democratic Party shaped by the culture of identity politics.
